How to build mathematical resilience and reduce maths anxiety in children aged 10-13

School closures have been tough on everyone this year, and if you think your child might be suffering from increased maths anxiety our webinar will provide you with some actionable tips on helping your child overcome it.

Maths anxiety is defined as "a negative emotional reaction to maths leading to feelings of helplessness and panic". We all experience it in certain situations, but if your child experiences it on a regular basis, it can result in lower performance, and more importantly be detrimental to their self-esteem.

In this session, you’ll learn:

1. What maths anxiety is

2. How to spot the signs

3. Practical strategies to help your child cope

4. Actionable tips on helping them build mathematical resilience

From Wrong Answers to Real Insights: How We Used a Kaggle Challenge to Map Student Misconceptions

At Eedi, we’re obsessed with a deceptively simple question: why do students get things wrong? We’re not talking about slips like picking B instead of A by accident. We’re talking about the deeper kind of wrong, like when a student always works left to right, ignoring the order of operations. These kind of mistakes reveal something something more profound: a **misconception**. If we can spot them, we can intervene and prevent a *misconception cascade*, where unresolved misconceptions lead to new ones.

Eedi’s Magic Number 🪄

Here’s what this means in practice — and why it matters for you and your students.
